About Malabar Kitchen
Malabar Kitchen is an Indian restaurant in Barnstaple that serves both North Indian and South Indian cuisine, so one menu draws on two regional styles. The South Indian dishes include dosa, with a mini dosa listed alongside it. Curries cover the North Indian side of the menu, and mutton curry is one of the choices for diners who want meat. Groups deciding between the two styles can order from both without going elsewhere. The restaurant is at 57 Vicarage St.

Customer Review Summary
Curries draw the most praise, from mutton and fish curry to mains one diner called really good in a good-sized portion. Dosa, including a mini dosa, and the Gobi 65 come close behind, with biryani also named. Reviewers describe friendly staff. The main complaint is starters: one diner found three prawns and small, flat onion bhajis disappointing, and would skip them next time.

“Authentic Indian dishes with affordable prices. Foods are very delicious and portion is also good. Their biryani (beef and chicken on bone), mutton curry, fish curry and Dosa are my favourite. Staff are very friendly and helpful. All of my friends and my family absolutely love their foods - means this is Asian approved restaurant.”

“Visited early doors about 5.30pm, a warm welcome from the young fella was great. Starters were disappointing, I had the prawns , 3 prawns on a plate for £8.95 although were tasty were not good value for money. Wife had the onion bhajis, again small portion and to be honest the worst were ever tasted , small and flat looked more like they were made of chickpeas than onion. But!!!!! The two curry’s we had for main were really really good, tasty and a good size portion , naan breads were of a good size and tasty too. Service from the lad was really good too. Would definitely go back but miss out on the starters.”
